Talk about yourself for a bit

Post Reply New Topic

My real name's Alice, the name I use on the board is exactly how I feel. I wish I had known about or had gotten a diagnosis sooner on Asperger's. I had a lot of frustration in the past and felt some of my life was robbed. I guess it's all on how you view it though. I consider myself to be very friendly but socially akward. I have a lot of interests that involve creativity. If anyone wants to share music with me, pm me. I love music. My tastes are pretty open. I'm too embarassed to say much more about myself. So that about sums me up.

I am Chelsy
I am 5'7 and havent grown in 4 years.
Which is to me totally awesome
I have longer brown blondish red hair that is shoulder length and I have green eyes. I am not too fond of my nose though I only likeit because it is showing the fact I am eastern Euro though
I am a senior in high school and I dont want to graduate the thought of having to make up my own life which i dont know even whre to start!
I am single, again my last realtionship failed because the person i was with bored me. So I am basically looking and in the end always getting hurt ( another thread somewhere explaining)
I dont know If I have AS, i have been reading a bunch of articles and I talked to a few people with it and I can compare a lot to what they have and I have simular stories.
I am a very nice person once you get past the exterior I am very shy and only talk to people I know. I also have the issue of letting people know too much too quick I dont know where to go.
I tend to be put off and I am usually just another face int he crowd.
I have no life it depresses me .
I like people who are literate ........ people are are illiterate bother me.
I dont know what else to say.

Hi Everyone!

I've been (re)searching my whole life to find out what's wrong with me. I'm a 40 year old woman...and now I know. While lurking on WP the last few months, I've deeply laughed and cried more than I have with any 'friend' my entire life. Thank you Alex for being such a leader and thank you Aspies for sharing your stories which are so true to life.

My family was the first to call me 'weirdo', followed closely by the neighborhood and, as most of you have experienced, the public school system. Things didn't seem too too bad in elementary school; we were all goofy tadpoles. I read a lot. And looked out the window at the other kids playing kickball. Sure, they asked me to join, but I just couldn't do it. In junior high, I gave myself a stomach ulcer with worries over my studies and dealing with my peer group. I used to vomit every morning before school and then run to catch the bus. Nice way to build a reputation huh? The librarian liked me though. She asked me to help teach English to a boy who had just moved from China. I spent that year during my free period helping him with vocabulary, grammar and flashcards. He actually helped me with algebra. He was so very shy and by the end of the school year was smiling and more outgoing than I was in classes. Still, it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

I haven't accomplished much else (in my eyes anyway.) I dropped out of college during my first semester and made my parents drive back 200 miles to move me out. I told everyone it was because I missed my boyfriend and we had no way to see each other. But that wasn't it. You all know the real reasons. My folks were not proud of me after that and I felt like a complete loser for many many years. I knew I was smarter and more sophisticated than the criminals in my bad neighborhood. Yet I couldn't cut it.

I stayed with my first boyfriend for six years as if to prove something to everyone. How stupid was that? There were many more embarrasing boy episodes in years to follow - but that's for another age appropriate forum.

My current beau is the best - we've been together most of my adult life now. He is in the gifted range (high IQ) and I think that is why he gets me. He talks me through every single meltdown and all work related problems. He is a saint, while I am probably taking years off his life.

It is really nice to meet you all - young & old alike.

Nice to meet you, pen2paper.

Alright let's see moi

1.) Well, I am involved with several activist groups.
Notably, my Amnesty International group and I volunteer at the Darfur Rehabilitation Project in Newark, New Jersey

3.) I am writing my book, May 7th about the economic, cultural and political progress of Africa during the 21st century

4.) Yes, I love politics

5.) Geography, I won the State of New Jersey

Anyway, that's really it.

Hi I'm Samuel I'm a high school student sophomore right now trying to figure out life I've been diagnosed with aspergers for longer than i remember well maybe not thaty long but i've always felt different from those around me in early life preschool / early elementary school i had lots of 'friends' gradually over the years though many of my friends became 'popular and we fell out of touch by the end of elementary school i didn't have many and had sparingly few all through middle school now in high school i have a bunch of 'friends'

nough said bout my social life though i'm quite smart imho which is proply due to my great memory (i attribute it to my AS) I am best at math / science but hate repetitive work that characterizes the curriculum in those subjects.

Also have very active imagination I think bout STAG star triangle advanced guard (good guys from pretty much everything i ever watched / read primarily from star trek though) constantly

Hello. I am Edwin (not my real name) and I am 18, nearly 19 years old. I live in Virginia, and I am an Aspie Art Freak. I enjoy drawing, writing, making music and lyrics, and all that jazz. I have been through normal schooling, and the occaissional (spell?) speech and hearing therapy. I haven't been successful in relationships, and up to this point I've lead a life of celibacy. As of right now, I am attempting to write songs on acoustic guitar and taking long walks in the middle of the night trying to discover the meanings of things. I am prone to talk long periods about meaningless stuff and philosophy, and about music as well.

My favorite food is sushi, my favorite drink is Cheerwine.

Its kinda funny. I remember being told by a teacher of mine that many autistics are the same and their personalities and traits and talents dont vary. The many faces on this thread alone has disproved that, thank god. Seldom have i met other Aspies in real life, but i hope to feel more at home here on WP!

Nice to meet you, Samuel.

Nice to meet you, Edwin.

Nice to meet you, sjmrs85.

Well, *shuffles index cards*... I am known by the Nicknames of Dr. Cat, Professor David, and in a online rpg named stendhal, meowth. My hair is dirty blonde, my eyes, blue-green by natural color shiftyness, and I am a Aspie writer/creative person/poet by ad-lib/clean dry humor comic. I really don't mind basic math, but anything beyond bacic algerbra just confounds me. I have a very fine tuned sence of rythem, but I really don't dance much in public. I like obsolite computers and game systems, and I am searching for Simcity 2000 Specal editon, for dos or Windows the dreaded. (Though 98 was lovable and XP professonal ain't so bad.) I am preferablly a health eater and really try to avoid HFCS, and the like. The same goes for my hygene products. I was born around the internet explosion in the 1990's and am officaly part of the E-gen. I really could tell more, but that is what a blog is for.

Well I'm 26 but still feel like I'm a kid. I live in Missouri with my dad and my 2 cats.

My hobbies include astrology, sketching, psychoanlyzing, music, books, piano, researching topics or objects, and etc.

I was diagnosed with AS only 2 years ago.

My dad's the one that found this WP site, I was hesitant about it since I don't do much chatting with ppl esp. online. But finally gave it a go. I'm still fairly new so I'm learning as I go along.

I work at Little Sisters of the Poor

My goals include going back to school and to make some friends or connections. I don't have any. Oh and my real name's Alice.

Even though I struggle socially I still take comfort to friendliness. I love talking about topics that don't involve math. I luv listening to people's stories. I find comfort in those who are accepting. I luv nature. I luv walking. I luv philosophy. I luv poems. I luv romance. I luv psychobabble. Ok, too much info.
I feel the name I use on this board really describes me as being misunderstood. I've had many ppl read me the wrong way.

So that's as good as I can describe myself.

Hello,

My name is Yngve and I am from Norway, but I am married to a woman from the Dominican Republic so we are at this island often. I have aspergers syndrom. Bur I like to call it aspergers phenomen.
I am educated as behavour analyst. I like to say that I know the soul of humanity, but I dont like people so much
If I had lived in the Us states I think I would have been a FBI profiler, I have talent for such things.
I love gardens and plants and in some years we shall move permant to the Dominican republic. Garden 12 months a year, and not 5-6 months like in Norway!

Great thread, it's like we can go on and on about ourselves!

Hey, I'm Jo and I'm sixteen. I was born in Lisbon, moved to China as a little kid, and moved back to Lisbon last year. I don't know if I'm an autist or just NT. I've never felt comfortable with anything, I tend to overanalyse, and have always felt detached, like I'm apart from everyone else, just because no one ever really understands me or what I say. I also have an uncanny skill for languages and a great word-by-word memory. My mom has always thought I was a bit odd, because she's the person closest to me, and even when she touches me, I feel uncomfortable. I've learned to tolerate it when my friends touch or hug me. Especially since, moving to Europe, I have had to get used to the whole cheek-kissing thing, which I hate. But sometimes I'm very affectionate, kinda like a child. I also hate it when I know I'm right and people don't recognize it, I'm very stubborn and fickle that way. I am very prone to mood swings, and I hate it when people make me do things. People kind of pick on me at school. I guess people can sense that I'm different somehow. They pick on me especially because I have never had a boyfriend or anything, which, to people my age, is considered extremely shocking, but I just don't feel up to a relationship and I don't have that much an interest in boys anyway. Well, that's me, I guess. Finding this site was great, it's awesome to know not only that there are people like you out there, but also that there all are different kinds of people, and it's ok to just be who you are! xxx
